Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips and whipped cream (optional toppings)
- Maple or honey syrup, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Don’t overmix—the batter should be a little lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, then flip and cook until golden.
- Stack hot pancakes, top with chocolate chips, whipped cream, and a generous drizzle of syrup.
Notes
- Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
- Use buttermilk instead of milk for a tangy, ultra-soft texture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute with almond or oat milk and coconut oil.
- Freeze leftover pancakes between parchment sheets and reheat in toaster.
